3. Broadband Network- at a glance
Access layer:
• Access layer is the one which faces the customer side
and all the access devices such as DSLAM/OLT,
CPE(MODEM), SetTop box , etc. , gets connected.
Aggregation layer:
• As name depicts , this layer aggregates all the access
traffic and pass it to the Core or gateway.
Core/Gateway:
• All the Aggregated traffic is assigned Qos/traffic policy
and make its way to the global internet via the gateway.
24. Customer Premises Equipments
Splitter
• The filter separates out the signal for telephone i.e.
voice and data signals are segregated and vice versa.
High Pass and Low Pass Filter used at both ends, CPE
and ACCESS NE sides.
CPE(Modem /ONT)
• The CPE directs the signal to PC and TV. Service
Specific ATM PVC Values and subscribers’ secrets are
configured.
Enable security features to avoid botnet and Man in the
Middle(MITM) attacks.
25. DSLAM
• DSL Access Multiplexor or Demultiplexor.
• Supports PPP and ATM for xDSL services.
• Supports GE and FE connectivity for uplink, cascading,
and other types of data connectivity.
• Supports VLAN.
26. RPR
Resilient Packet Ring(RPR) Switch:
• The traffic from access devices and remote aggregation
devices is aggregated in RPR and forwarded to the Core
Network.
• Resilience: Proactive span protection automatically
avoids failed span within 50ms.
• Ring Topology gives the scalable option of having more
than 100 nodes in a ring.
• RPR has the ability to differentiate between low & high
priority packets.
27. Broadband Network Gateway
(BNG)
• It routes traffic to and from broadband remote access devices
DSLAMs /OLTs on an Internet service provider's (ISP) network.
• It works as Multi Service Edge Router(MSER).
• Service specific logical mini routers are configured in BNG
called context or routing instances.
• BNG maps the traffic coming from access networks elements
and forward to uplink L3PE VLANs IP MPLS Network through
corresponding service context.
• Authentication, Authorization and accounting processes
happen via radius servers configured logically in BNG.
28. Cont.
• Enforces quality of service (Qos) policies.
• Provides layer 3 connectivity and routes IP traffic
through an Internet service provider’s backbone network
to the Internet.
37. ATM
ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode. It is a
switching technique that uses time division multiplexing
(TDM) for data communications.
ATM networks are connection oriented networks for cell
relay that supports voice, video and data
communications. It encodes data into small fixed - size
cells so that they are suitable for TDM and transmits
them over a physical medium.
The asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
protocol architecture is designed to support the transfer
of data with a range of guarantees for quality of service.
The user data is divided into small, fixed-length packets,
called cells, and transported over virtual connections.
49. Modes of configuration of modem
There are two ways to configure an ADSL
modem for broadband connection.
One in PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet) and the another is Bridge mode.
50. PPPoE Mode
In this mode the modem works as router and the PPPoE
session terminates on WAN port of router. The PPPoE client is
in built in the modem .The Internal network has to use the
private IP and for Internet access NATing happens in modem. In
PPPoE mode the modem is configured in such a way that the
user id and password are stored inside the Modem. Internet
connection will be established as you switch on the Modem.
Bridge Mode
In this mode the modem works as transparent Ethernet bridge
and therefore you need to run the PPPoE client software ( for
login authentication) on your PC/server.
Both the modes can be used as per the requirement and
application.
51. Main Differences
PPPoE mode
1. User id and password stored inside the Modem.
2. Multiple PCs can be connected. For example most of the
basic ADSL Modems having at least one ADSL port and one
USB port. In PPPoE mode, can connect one PC to Ethernet
port and one PC to USB port which enable simultaneous
internet usage in both the PCs.
3. PPPoE mode is more secured.
Bridge Mode
1. In bridge mode user id and password to be entered in the
dialer of computer.
2. Only single PC can be connected.
3. Less secured because all the ports are open need good
firewall to avoid virus infection.
69. HOW TO SECURE YOUR WIRELESS
BROADBAND NETWORK
Changing the Configuration Page's Password
Every wireless router or access point comes with a built-in
configuration page, this will look like an internal web page that
is accessed from your web browser. Usually, the password is
either blank or says something along the lines of ?admin.?
Changing both the username as well as the password is an
important step in keeping your wireless broadband connection
secure.
Disabling the Broadcasting of Your SSID(Service Set Identifier)
Most wireless broadband access points and routers make their
SSID public. While this makes it easy to connect to the network,
it also announces to everyone that you are using a wireless
network. Disabling this broadcasting prevents others from
easily knowing that you are using a wireless network for your
broadband connection.
70. HOW TO SECURE YOUR WIRELESS
BROADBAND NETWORK
Changing the Default IP Number of the Wireless Access Point
or Router
Change the default IP number to something different so hackers
cannot easily find the configuration menu. The default IP
number is something the manufacturer's put in to make the
system easy to use. All hackers are familiar with the default IP
number, so changing it will help secure your wireless system.
Enabling WEP or WPA Encryption
With the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) box options checked off, a user has to have a
correct encryption key to connect to the wireless network. WEP
comes with different encryption levels, and the higher the level,
the more difficult it is to break the encryption code.
71. COMMON ERRORS IN THE BROADBAND
AND THEIR RESOLUTION
Error-678
This is most common problems. It is due to poor
connectivity. Problem can be anywhere between
B.RAS - Tier 2 - DSLAM - Modem - PC of the
customer.
Switch off / Switch on Modem (Power Switch at the
back of modem ) and wait for 2 minutes. Then retry.
Error-691
User id and Password problem.
The case is to be referred to Central Broadband
Team. Central Broadband Team will reset the
password and intimate that password has been reset.
72. Error-769
LAN not enabled.
The LAN Card has to be enabled by following the
steps given below.
i)Go to Desktop.
ii)Click "My Network Place".
iii)Select Properties.
iv)Click "Enable the local network"
73. Error- 797
Modem or LAN driver problem.
Reset the Modem (in on condition ) by pressing button
available in the backside hole of the modem and wait for 2
mintues and then log on. If the problem is not solved then
call your vendor to check computer LAN Card driver.
Error-718
i)Peak Hour - This problem occurs if loading is high on the
system and number of customers exceed the call handling
capacity of B.RAS. ii)Slack Hour -This problem occurs if
PPPoE is corrupted.
i)Peak Hour - Please try after some time. ii)Slack Hour -
Please load PPPoE again.
74. Error - 630-633
Computer LAN Card problem.
LAN Card has to be changed.
Site not opening
From Broadband connection, sites are not opening.
Probable reasons i)Internet explorer is not supporting
the Pop (may be pirated OS). ii)Virus has corrupted
the Internet explorer.
The user has to set it right by re-installing the O/S or
Internet Browser(I.E. etc).
